Answer:
1.)[tex]-12+4x=-12+4x[/tex]
2.) [tex]2-2x \neq -8-2x[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The distributive property states that multiplying a sum by a number gives the same result as multiplying each addend by the number and then adding all the products.
[tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]
For the first equation
[tex]-2(6-2x)=4(-3+x)\\(-2)(6)+(-2)(-2x)=(4)(-3)+(4)(x)\\-12+4x=-12+4x[/tex]
For the second equation
[tex]5-1(2x+3)=-2(4+x)\\5+((-1)(2x)+(-1)(3))= (-2)(4)+(-2)(x)\\5+(-2x-3) = -8+(-2x)\\5-2x-3=-8-2x\\2-2x \neq -8-2x[/tex]
